Doug,

An awful lot I don't agree it but I certainly disagree about not
believing the emperor a God. They believed it. He was a God on a White
Horse. He had to issue a written statement to his people that he wasn't
a God. Sorry Buddy, You're way off on that one


Why are you so eager to believe that other people are stupid?

Would *you* believe the Emperor is a god?

This clearly demonstrates your arrogance and inability to be open-minded.
There were myriad cultural differences between the Japanese and Americans.
There still are today. Just because they believed their leader to be a god
doesn't make them stupid--just different, and with a different set of
beliefs. I suppose you believe Native Americans and Australian Aborigines
to be stupid because they believe that gods control much of their lives and
destinies?


The Japanese nation is (and was at the time) one of the best educated
people on the planet. They didn't build some of the most advanced weapons
of the time (and build all sorts of high tech gizmos since) by believing
in a lot of superstitious clap-trap.

Sorry buddy, I'm not off at all on this one. Think about it.

You're way off, but your ego and your arrogance prevents you from realizing
it.
